I would like to second the recommendation for Christopher Duffy&#39;s books, particularly &quot;Fire and Stone&quot;. I also recommend &quot;Fortress&quot; by Ian Hogg, published 1978 (?). This was my first book on fortifiactions and was the start of my interest in forts, particularly the work of Vauban.Pierre le Poiluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06436066439479804578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5744170830107487392.post-29648878966667096102017-06-15T16:55:12.826-04:002017-06-15T16:55:12.826-04:00Very True on the importance of sieges.

In the SYW in Europa the Austrian/Prussian Theatre in Saxony, Silesia, Bohemia and Moravia all revolved around the Fortresses Supply Magazines or choke points of: Dresden, Schweidnitz, Breslau, Prague, Konnigratz, and Olmutz most of which endured at least one siege in the war and some two. The Russian/Prussian Theatre had Zorndorf fought to lift the siege of Custrin and the Russians could not winter in Pomerania till they took Colberg on their third siege attempt in three years in 1761.Jung Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09680162289671541029noreply@blogger.com
